The identities of the workers from a Melville Costco who won $201.9 million in the New York Lottery will be revealed Thursday, the state agency said.
The Lottery's Yolanda Vega will present the winners from the June 1 Powerball drawing with an oversized prize check in a 10:30 a.m. news conference at the warehouse club on Route 110.
Vega also will present a ceremonial $10,000 bonus check to the retailer who sold the jackpot-winning ticket.
The ticket, a Quick Pick, was bought at the Maulik & Chandni stationery store on West Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst. It was claimed June 7, a New York Lottery spokeswoman said.
The winners of the biggest lottery prize in Long Island history are reportedly a group of about 20 employees who work at the Costco store.
